1. Drain tomatoes. Chop lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Shred mozzarella
cheese. 2. Place a piece of parchment paper in a deep steam table pan. Wet two
paper towels with water and make into a ball; place paper towel ball underneath the parchment paper in a corner of the steam table pan. Place tortillas in the steam table pan by staggering them on top of each other in groups of 12-15. Cover the pan with foil, place in warmer, and heat for 2 hours.
3. Add cumin (for rice) and cook rice according to package directions. NOTE: Rice quantity in recipe is for amount of cooked rice needed. Use your rice package label to determine the correct amount of raw rice to prepare. For tender rice, do not add salt to rice during cooking, even when the package directions call for it.
4. In a large stock pot, bring un-drained pinto beans, drained diced tomatoes, and cumin (for beans) to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain juices before adding to salad wraps. NOTE: This mixture is bland by itself but it is delicious when topped with the cilantro dressing.
5. Follow manufacturer's instructions to re-heat ham. Pork is done when it reaches 145°F. Medium dice ham.
6. In a blender or food processor, puree cilantro (stems included), vegetable oil, lime juice, orange juice, salt, and garlic powder.
7. Place warm tortilla on tray. Top with ½ cup lettuce, 2.5 oz. ham, 1/8 cup rice, 1/8 cup beans, 2 tbsp. salsa, ¼ oz. cheese, and 1 ½ tbsp. dressing.
